I have lived in London since 1997. Passionate about travel, history, walking and exploring I qualified as a City of London Guide in 2022 and a London Blue Badge Guide in 2024. I am also a Freeman of the City of London that gives me the right to herd sheep across the river Thames ! I would love to show you around and my London Blue Badge Guide professional qualification means I have privileged guiding access to all the buildings that matter including the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, Churchill War Rooms, Kensington Palace, St Paul’s Cathedral and the British Museum. For those who have been to London before there is always more to discover in our great capital city. I also offer railway, regeneration, shopping, food and LGBT Pride Tours. All of my London tours are private and designed around the interests of you and your group, whether it is 1 or 2 or up to 10. I cater for visitors and locals alike. A selection of my most popular tours are below so please do get in touch. They are mainly on foot yet depending on your preferences we can also travel on red London buses, river boats, iconic black cabs or the famous tube. If you fancy a pint in a traditional English pub or lunch in old world legal London let me know as I am happy to tweak or customise my tours to give you a day to remember ! Reviews March 2025 "Booking this tour was exactly what we needed to learn about the Tower of London. Our tour guide Warren was incredibly knowledgeable. We tossed questions at him throughout the tour and he never hesitated with his reply. Warren also made sure we had a prime spot for the daily 3pm ceremony while he explained the historical significance....I'll keep those magnificent visuals stored in my memory. Thank you Warren !" Carrie - United States. " Warren was an amazing host for our Tower of London trip ! Very knowledgable, engaging, friendly and happy to answer my many questions" Matthew S "Graciously met by our wonderful guide Warren. We were able to witness the official opening of the Tower by the Beefeaters and Guards...Cheers to Warren for an unforgettable visit!!" JL "Crown Jewels are a must. Warren was friendly, fun and very knowledgable. The tour was interesting and not too taxing [Warren] also gave us options to do after his tour was finished. I definitely recommend this tour. I chose this tour because of the extra time to see the crown jewels and Warren gave us tips on how to get the most out of the time spent in the Crown Jewels area" Bobart J January 2025 - "Our guide Warren was amazing and very patient. My college age daughter wished he was going to be her next Professor!" Tanya Z. "Warren was perfect, he was smart, funny and made the tour perfect. He is wonderful. Thank-you !" Judi November 2024 - "Our tour guide Warren really made the tour memorable. He was both very personable, informative and fun. He made us feel like we were VIPs. It was a great experience!" Frances M August 2024 - "Loved the Kensington Palace experience. We were very lucky to be the only people on the tour with our tour guide Warren. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and we felt as if we were with a friend !" Barbara S
